Instructions

1. Give your tile a nice wiping down to get all of the visible grime off.
2. With a respirator mask (this stuff will knock you out!) and gloves on and the windows open, pour a bit of ammonia onto your washcloth and begin scrubbing those tiles. This is quite the workout. You need them to be squeaky clean before continuing to the next step.

3. Either by hand or with an electric sander, begin sanding all of the tile. This will take the gloss coating of the tiles off and will allow the paint to properly adhere.

4. After sanding, wipe the tile down to remove all dust.
5. Using your preferred paint tape, tape off all of the tile. We placed the tape outside of the caulk. (Others do not recommend painting the caulk, but it’s been 7 months and no problems!)
6. We also taped scrap magazine pages on the countertop to ensure no dripping occurred.

7. Using your paint tray, pour a little of the paint inside, and begin rolling! We recommend a small foam roller to avoid dripping. If you use a roller with a thicker nap, too much paint will be applied and it will begin dripping 30 minutes after you begin (this happened to us!). So use a FOAM roller! If there are some tight spots which your roller won’t fit in, then use a foam brush to fill in. I would also recommend using gloves while painting because this paint is oil based and will not come off easily!

8. Wait one hour and put another coat of paint on.9. Remove paint tape while the paint is still wet.10. Let this dry and set for a solid 3 days before touching.11. Voila! White, beautiful tiles!
